About Our Group Living Program

Welcome to SurexCARE, where we have been dedicated to making a difference in the lives of individuals with developmental disabilities since 1980. Our journey began as a heartfelt collaboration between Surrey Place Centre, Extendicare LTD, and the Ministry of Children, Community and Social Services (MCCSS) to help long-term residents of Huronia Regional Centre find new homes in the community. What started as a pilot project has blossomed into a thriving charitable organization, offering a network of community homes and support programs tailored to meet the unique needs of adults with developmental disabilities. Our rebranding as SurexCARE reflects our ongoing commitment to providing compassionate, empowering care. Join us as we continue to create a welcoming and supportive environment where everyone can thrive and achieve their fullest potential.

What’s Said About SurexCARE

“The best part of my job is the opportunity to consistently learn and grow. I'm exposed to new challenges on a regular basis, which helps me develop personally and professionally.”

Karen G, Primary Counsellor

“In my job, I get to see the direct results of my efforts, which is incredibly rewarding. Witnessing the positive impact of my work and dedication with the individuals we provide service for is fulfilling”

 Jenni M, Primary Counsellor

“When I retired from teaching, I was looking for something meaningful to do with my time. A friend and Board member, at the time, suggested Surex. Surex provides both wonderful home settings and a stimulating day programme for some of society's most vulnerable people. I was impressed by the quality of care and decided that this was an organization well worth my time and effort. I am both proud and honoured to have served on the Board for over twenty meaningful years and during that time, I also learned a great deal about myself while serving others.”

Patricia S., Former Board Member

“I have had the opportunity to visit the day centre and housing programs. The dedication of the staff to improving quality of life for our clients is inspiring.”

Steve L, Current Board Member

“My son has lived in a Surex group home for 37 years. Though severely developmentally challenged, he has learned many personal skills with the help and patience of caring staff. He has and has had many wonderful people enrich his life over the years and many are still with the agency, in different roles, but still part of his Surex family and extended family. Though my son is 50 years old, he is still a child at heart and requires a safe, caring and accepting environment and help with activities of daily living. I know his needs are being met with care and understanding, which is very comforting to a parent."  

  Louise T, Parent

“Passion without dedication and focus is like an uncontrollable fire. SurexCARE has refined its focus and tempered its passion to reach and serve many individuals and their families across the GTA. That is why I enjoy being part of a team where we do our best with love and CARE to create lasting impact and change for generations to come.”  

 Jason E., Manager

“We are glad that our son receives great support, both in the home environment, and in the activity rich day program. Through Surex, he has found his community, as well as opportunities for a happy and thriving like.”  

 George W., Parent

“Surex is a fantastic organization that gives voice to those that do not always have a voice. It was an honour and privilege to volunteer with them for well over a decade because of the dignity that they helped their residents achieve.”  

 Steve M., Former Board Member

“Having served on the Board for over 20 years, I was taken by Surex’s commitment to and excellence in providing client care. Surex is truly dedicated to providing a safe and caring environment for its clients and offering support to them and their families.”  

 William S., Former Board Member

“No two days are ever the same, it keeps things interesting.”  

 Alison H., Senior Leadership

“It was a pleasure and honour to serve on the Surexcare board of directors; a group of dedicated professionals coming from many walks of life and with varied expertise to contribute, but all with the intention of ensuring the organization is delivering excellent housing and care services for our residents. This includes supporting the management and staff teams, ensuring the organization is evolving and growing with the needs of our community, and advocating for those with differing abilities in Ontario. I'm very proud to have played a small role in the work at Surexcare!”
